Gungartan

Gungartan is a mountain in New South Wales, Australia's Snowy Mountains region. Gungartan is the tallest mountain on mainland Australia that is not part of the Main Range, standing at 2,068 meters (6,785 feet) above sea level. In Kosciuszko National Park, it is close to Whites River Hut.

In the summer, many hikers ascend to the summit for the spectacular views of the neighboring national park. The whole climb to the summit is rather straightforward, with only slight scrambling near the summit. In the winter, the mountain is usually snow-covered, and in good conditions, backcountry skiing over the saddle is great. Due to surface ice and severe winds caused by the funneling effect of the valley below, the saddle and peak are best avoided during bad weather in mid-winter.
